Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Navy's decision to move F/A-18 depot maintenance work from the Ogden Air Logistics Center to the North Island Naval Aviation Depot, focusing on the cost and performance indicators used to justify the move of F/A-18 repair activities from Ogden to North Island.<p/>GAO found that: (1) it is difficult to compare F/A-18 modification, corrosion, and paint program cost and performance data at North Island and Ogden because the Navy does not use the most current information when making adjustments for the amount of work completed at each depot; (2) based on its analysis, Ogden's maintenance costs are slightly lower, but the Department of Defense's (DOD) decision to retain F/A-18 repair capability at North Island is more cost-effective for workload consolidation efforts; and (3) DOD needs to define the steps, processes, analyses, and validation procedures for its future depot-maintenance decisions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-31/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-31.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-31/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-31.pdf GAO/NSIAD-96-31 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-31 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-96-31; Depot Maintenance: The Navy's Decision to Stop F/A-18 Repairs at Ogden Air Logistics Center; Aircraft maintenance Cost analysis Fighter aircraft Competition Military cost control Labor costs Repair costs Navy procurement F/A-18 Aircraft Navy Modification, Corrosion, and Paint Program Rapid Response Repair (3R) System Ogden (UT) San Diego (CA) Title 10 Section 2469 10 U.S.C. 2469
